Want positive not violent and depressed citizens: NCERT chief on tweaks regarding Guj riots, Babri masjid in textbooks

The director of NCERT responded to accusations of saffronisation in curriculum and textbooks by explaining that references to the Gujarat riots and Babri Masjid demolition were revised. This decision was made because teaching about such events could potentially contribute to the creation of citizens prone to violence and depression. The NCERT is currently updating school textbooks in accordance with the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020.
